Blood and Memory
Material: The work is constructed from numerous small square modules made of wood and glazed ceramic, assembled into a vertical pixel-like mosaic structure. The contrast between matte grey tones and vivid red and white elements emphasizes the physicality of the material and the labor-intensive process of building a large-scale composition from fragmented units. Object: The composition unfolds as an elongated vertical formation resembling a symbolic axis, a growing plant, or a column of signals and wounds. Along this central structure, organic forms and wing-like shapes expand outward in red and grey clusters. These elements suggest bodies, memories, explosions, or blooming fragments suspended in space. The rhythmic repetition of modular units creates a sense of pulse, movement and accumulation over time. Concept: Created within the ongoing project “Pixel, Memory and Mosaic,” the work reflects on war, loss and the persistence of memory. The vertical structure functions as a metaphorical timeline or memorial column where individual experiences of trauma and survival are layered into collective history. The red forms evoke blood, sacrifice and irreversible transformation, while the pixelated construction suggests the fragmentation of reality in the digital era — where images of violence, displacement and resistance become part of everyday perception. Through the translation of digital visual logic into tactile material presence, the artist constructs a field of remembrance. The work speaks about how memory grows, spreads and reshapes identity, forming a living structure that connects personal grief with national experience.
